There are factors to consider, like the brewer’s own environment, a burr’s constant exposure to humidity, and the method’s effectiveness on multiple doses. If the humidity in your space is already at a certain level, the added humidity created by the mist may be too much.
From what I can tell, relative humidity in the room does reduce the amount of static a little, but still not as much as you would get from performing the RDT they suggest in the study.
May not necessarily be useful for everyone, especially those of us in humid areas.

Still, probably worth giving it a try.

Will be interesting to see whether the data behind this study mentions that.
I’m making my way through this in the hopes I don’t need to read through the study: https://youtu.be/GuqVUsMPs-U?si=rq0n9pL0bO6Pna-l
